Inspired by the iconic works of Fred Williams, this handwoven raw silk jacket brings to life the untamed beauty of Australia’s Red Landscape. Williams’ art is celebrated for its abstract yet deeply evocative interpretations of the vast, iron-rich terrain, where layers of deep reds, ochres, and sunburnt earth tell the story of an ancient, enduring land.
This weave is a masterpiece in its own right, meticulously crafted to capture the depth, texture, and movement of the rugged outback. The interplay of earthy red silks with golden and rust undertones mimics the way light dances over desert sands, rocky escarpments, and windswept plains.

Handsome and unique garment. I’ve often said that fitting me is much like dressing a bulldog, not this time, it was a perfect fit out of the box. Thanks JB
My husband loves his Joe Bananas shirt as much as I do. He usually takes a large but we sized down to medium and like the more tailored fit of doing that.
The Joe Bananas store at Fashion Island Newport is like walking into a candy store. Lucked out to be able to meet Eric and appreciated his insight and assistance.
I don't like shopping for clothes online. When shopping at a store for clothing I normally try to minimize my time in the store. Since I am an XY, I like to have a clear idea of what I want before entering a store. After viewing the window display at Joe Bananas my wife (XX) insisted that I try on some clothing in attempt to improve my personal selection of antiquated and worn clothing. With low expectations I tried Joe Bananas. However, my shopping experience was excellent. I know I sound like I'm XX! But, the conversation with the staff was engaging and entertaining. I left the store with excellent clothing that was comfortable and garnered rave reviews from my friends both XX and XY.
